The remote control requires AAA batteries. When 
you replace old batteries, you should replace all of the 
batteries. Use batteries of the same kind, for example, 
alkaline or carbon zinc, and don’t mix batteries of 
different kinds. Alkaline batteries last longer.

1. Press down on the battery cover and slide the 

cover off.

2. If you are replacing batteries, take out all of 

the old batteries.

3. Put the new batteries in. Make sure 

you match the plus (“+”) ends with the 
plus markings on the battery case.

4. Slide the cover back into place.

The remote control may use either UHF radio signals or IR light 
signals to control the receiver but uses only IR signals to control other 
devices.

• IR signals travel only short distances (up to 40 feet), 

and cannot go through walls or other solid objects. 
You must point the remote control right at the device 
you want to control, with no objects to block the signal path.

• UHF signals travel long distances (up to 200 feet) and can 

go through walls and other solid objects. Because UHF signals 
travel so far, the receiver may respond to signals from other 
nearby remote controls. To handle this problem, you may want to 
change the remote and receiver addresses. See Setting Up to 
Control the Satellite Receiver on page 4.

• Confirm that the UHF remote antenna is attached to the receiver’s 

back panel UHF REMOTE ANTENNA input so you can use 
your UHF Pro remote.
